Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Before the reconnaissance squad set off, Xie Tang had given a military order: once the traces of the Japanese army were discovered, unless the number of the other side was less than half of them, the reconnaissance squad must return to the large army as soon as possible to report, and it was forbidden to have any conflict with the Japanese army.

The opponent's weapons are better than theirs, and the ammunition must be sufficient, even if the two sides are equal in number, it is still Xie Yuru's side who suffers.

But the scout in front of him was still bleeding because of the wound on his shoulder, and most of his body was dyed red, Xie Yuru saw this and ran forward to support him in a few big strides, "What's the matter!" ”

The scout gasped for breath because of the pain, until he was helped to sit under the tree where Huang Yanzhi was sitting, and then it seemed to relieve a little pain.

"Report, Report to Overseer......"

Seeing that it was so difficult for him to speak, Xie Yuru really wanted him not to stick to those false courtesies, but before the words could be spoken, the scout had already begun to report.

It turned out that after discovering more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were bathing in the Xiaoling River, the seven of them acted according to Xie Yuru's orders at first, but when they retreated, the three Japanese soldiers who followed the river were dressed upright, and as soon as the other party shouted, the people who were originally bathing in the river also shouted in Japanese they didn't understand and ran ashore.

Although they killed the three latecomers who were the first to confront, they were chased far behind by a dozen Japanese soldiers with bare butts and guns.

Only four of the seven people who went out came back in the end, and he was the least injured, so he didn't go to the medical team, and directly found this side to report to Xie Yuru.

Xie Yuru looked at the blood on half of his body, and frowned, "You are the least injured?" "If he's the lightest wound, what will the other three look like?

"I'm just a slap on the shoulder, what an overseer!"

Huang Yanzhi himself hung an arm, knowing that the injury on his arm could be big or small, and after listening to the scout's report, he rushed the person to the medical team for treatment.

Although there is a shortage of drugs now, we can't just leave it alone.

"Fuck it!"

Huang Yanzhi looked at the scout's back and remembered something, and scolded his mother, Xie Yuru thought he was angry that the scout was injured, "It's okay, I just took a look, the bullet was shot through, and it didn't stay inside." ”

This is a very good result for a gunshot wound, otherwise, you will have to suffer the crime of taking bullets without anesthetic.

"It's not ......" Huang Yanzhi They are now standing in the lower reaches of the Xiaoling River, according to what the scout said, those Japanese soldiers are bathing about fifteen kilometers upstream, so the more Huang Yanzhi thinks about it, the more disgusting he becomes.

"What's going on?" Xie Yuru reached out and touched Huang Yanzhi's forehead very naturally, for fear that he would have another fever, after all, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs for fever now, and no matter how high the fever is, he can only resign himself to fate, "Don't burn." ”

Huang Yanzhi didn't move, he touched his forehead with him, and waited until Xie Yuru withdrew his hand before he took a sip, "I just drank the river water!" ”

Xie Yuru reacted for a second, snorted, and then comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, we use this water for boiling water and cooking." The implication is that everyone is the same.

But these words were really not any comfort, Huang Yanzhi retched dryly, and walked towards the camp with a face like dirt.

Xie Yuru stood in place and looked at the direction of the upstream for a while, and also strode towards the camp.

Since the rest of the people together are only more than 2,000, Xie Yuru has already reorganized the living people long before arriving at Jinshahetun.

In order to prevent the dozen or so Japanese soldiers encountered by the reconnaissance squad from liaising with the large army, Xie Yuru decided to immediately set up and take them by surprise.

Although he didn't know in his heart whether the other party was nearby with a large army, waiting was obviously the most passive choice at this moment.

The scouts he sent out were all wounded, and there were inevitably traces along the way, and if the other party chased them down all the way, it was only a matter of time before they were found.

Fortunately, according to the scout who had just come to report, the Japanese seemed to be operating on the southwest bank, and if they waded across the river and went to the opposite side, it was not known whether they would be able to cross the other side.

Although everything is just a guess in his head, isn't war like that? If everything could have been accurately predicted and controlled in advance, this war would not have broken out in the first place.

The team of more than 2,000 people was quickly reassembled, and the medical team still sent an additional company of people to the rear of the palace to defend and help transfer the wounded soldiers who were unable to move by the way, and as for the others, they were the first echelon, taking the lead in following Xie Yuru and Huang Yanzhi across the river.

Fortunately, according to the information they gathered before they came, the water of the Xiaoling River was not deep, but even so, when Xie Yuru led the troops to wade across the river, he repeatedly emphasized that everyone should be in good spirits, and they must ensure that they do not let go of the protective rope, and the distance between the two should not exceed an arm's length.

It is important to ensure that when anyone has an accident, the people around them can help as soon as possible.

Xie Yuru and Huang Yanzhi were the second group of people to cross the river in the whole team, and after they arrived at the opposite side, they immediately commanded the people who successfully crossed the river to find a hidden place, and at the same time sent two squads of soldiers to investigate the upstream first.

Fortunately, according to the correspondent who came back to report, there were no traces of Japanese troops in at least two kilometers ahead.

Xie Yuru breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, which at least proved that it was very likely that all the troops in the rear would cross the river safely.

Looking up at the still sunny sky, Xie Tang thought, worship Buddha for a lifetime, if there is really any god, Buddha, and the God that the foreign priests said, please show their spirits, bless them to return to Zhili safely, and don't lose more people.

But maybe his wish was not specific and clear enough, and the gods and Buddhas were not sure if they were responsible for anything, or if there were no gods and gods at all, anyway, in less than forty minutes, they encountered a small team of Japanese soldiers of more than a dozen people.

Fortunately, Xie Yuru's large army had successfully crossed the river at this time, and was hiding in the bushes on the riverbank to repair, and there was no panic when they encountered more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who walked into their shooting range.

The dozen or so Japanese soldiers were not very cautious, but soon they found traces of trampling on the river bank because of the river crossing, and several of them muttered Japanese, and finally two of them nodded, turned and ran in the direction they had come from.

How could Xie Yuru let them go back to report the news, so he took a rifle from the soldier next to him and took the lead in firing.

But I have to say that because he has not rested well for a long time, his whole person's eyesight and physical strength have been greatly affected, and the bullet that was originally expected to hit the opponent's heart only hit the opponent's left arm because of the miss.

Fortunately, because they were well concealed, the cold guns did not let the Japanese discover their location, and the gunshots that came to mind one after another quickly killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

After that, Xie Tang ordered the corpses of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to be thrown into the Xiaoling River, briefly cleaned up the traces of the firefight, and continued to go up the river with a large army.

Fortunately, there seemed to be only a dozen Japanese soldiers in the vicinity, and they never encountered any other Japanese soldiers all the way to the Zhibong border.

Stepping into the boundary of Zhili, Xie Yuru seemed to have confidence in his heart, he led his troops to avoid the complex mountainous situation of Huling Mountain and Songlingzi, first went to the nearest Longwang Miaotun to replenish a little necessary food, and then went straight to Qian'an, the largest county nearby.

Because the boundaries of Zhili were not in the Japanese-occupied area, although the people knew that there was a war, there was no such thing as fleeing with their families, especially when they heard that Xie Yuru's troops had fought the Japanese in the northeast, although Xie Yuru did not tell his identity for some reasons, they were still warmly welcomed by the people of the county.

When the common people heard that they had no food, every household spontaneously took out some of the surplus grain.

There was no fine white flour rice, but corn ballast and sorghum were enough to delight the soldiers who had not eaten enough for a long time.

Not to mention, now there are pickle gnocchi that can be eaten with porridge, and it is delicious under a meal, and no one will object to it.

Xie Yuru watched everyone gobble up sorghum rice and rice, grinning and gnawing on pickle gnocchi, and turned to find the county magistrate.

"What? Telegraph? The old county magistrate shook his head, "We don't have that thing in our county." ”

"And how do you usually communicate with the outside world?"

When the old man heard this, he turned around and took out a black telephone from his long desk, "Earlier, when the telephone line was not broken, there were occasional phone calls. Later, I don't know what the reason is, I can't get through. ”

Xie Yuru took the microphone and listened, there was no sound in it, he glanced back at the two signal soldiers who followed, the two immediately understood, walked over and began to check the telephone and telephone line.

"How?" Xie Yuru waited in the office with the old county magistrate, and for about 20 minutes, he had a new understanding of the poverty situation in this county.

"I checked the inside of the house, and I looked at the lines outside the house, and I didn't find any problems." A round-faced communication soldier looked at Xie Yuru in embarrassment, "Governor......" He habitually said a word, and then remembered that Xie Yuru didn't let them call him that way now, "Regiment commander, there may be a problem with the buried thread elsewhere." ”

Xie Yuru communicated with the old county magistrate just now, and found that this county could not afford the food of more than 2,000 people, and although the old county magistrate had been praising their anti-Japanese bravery, he had also been hinting that they should leave quickly.

The grain stocks of the various households in the county are very limited, and the so-called "rich households" are just watching the sky for food, and if they stay for a few days, they are afraid that after leaving, the people of this county will have a hard time.
